Porllllon
Nome,
Each partition can have its own name. The name you
assign a panition is an easy way for yOl.l to keep track of
the panilions when setting the boot drive and active
partitions.
The opcr.lting systems will not actually usc these names
exccpt as defaults when formaning. So, you could name a
ProDOS partition "lAURA" under the Partition Manager,
format the panition using the default, lAURA, and then, in
the Finder you can rename it STIJFF.O.lAUKA.
Name R ......
Panition names basically follow the roles of Pro[)OS

allowable space to the first partilion with

system installed. ProDOS allows a ma)(imum of 32
Megabytes per drive. Any available disk space above the
maximum is shiftoo to the ne)(t partition(s).
If you decide to resize the partitiOTl5 remember this
importam guideline:
BACK UP!
When you enlarge a panition, you're taking space away
flOm another partition. The space
you
take away may be
the portion that contains important files or applications.
Backup copies of the partitions let >,ou correct any slips
you might make.
The p3rtition you have sclectc<l will give space to or take
space from the
next
panition(s) down.
